...Technology (ICT) to improve and update the education they give to the younger generations. The Department of Education envisions an ICT-Supported system of quality basic education for all. It is stated on the National Framework Plan for ICT’s in Basic Education (2005-2010). It is committed to the appropriate, effective, and sustainable use of ICT’s to broaden access to and improve the quality and efficiency of basic education service delivery. The poor performance of students across the country in national and international tests, and the consistent high school dropout rates in both elementary and secondary school levels, underscore the deterioration of the quality of the Philippine schools system. Computer education offers potential for human betterment, at the same time, it is taught with great dangers that neither the potential can be truly realized, nor the danger avoided, without careful far-teaching critical questions being asked about computers in education. It is clear and evident that whatever this eventual outcome, the debate about computers in education is just beginning and is going to be with us for some time. The mathematician, computer scientist, and psychologist, Seymour Papert conducted renowned projects in the 1970’s at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology with the goal of making children the “builders” of their open intellectual “buildings”. (Harris and Kingston, 2002) It was Paperts intention to design “a computer language that would be suitable for children...

According to statistics compiled by the Guttmacher Institute schools (2008) is exploring the best sex education programs to benefit students. The US has “one of the highest teen pregnancy rates in the developed world—almost twice as high as those of England, Wales and Canada, and eight times as high as those of the Netherlands and Japan.” Because of the rising pregnancy rates among teens, in addition to the rising rates of sexual activity among teens, parents. The United States has unacceptably high rates of teen pregnancy, sexually transmitted diseases, and HIV/AIDS infections. To address this challenge, NARAL Pro-Choice America supports honest, age-appropriate, and medically accurate sex education that promotes abstinence and provides young people with the information they need to protect themselves. On the same hand, Peter J. Smith (2006) any DepEd directors and church people have argued that if they should incorporate sex education to the learning of the students. Furthermore they have argued about it since 2006 but today some public schools are incorporating sex education to a child’s learning in addition the government...

...Don’t Let Computers Become the Teacher President Clinton once had a vision of “the day when computers are as much a part of the classroom as blackboards.” (Sava) Back in the late 90’s that was just a vision. With the advent of Smart Boards and other teaching tools that vision has become reality. How are we supposed to view this change in the framework of learning and teaching? Are teachers to bow down to their new silicon based overlords? Are these computers to be used as classroom aids, or are they the forefront of a move from flesh and blood educators, to chip and wire teachers? There are many who support increasing the use of computer technology in classrooms. It would be difficult to defend a claim opposing the obvious advantages of computers. Computers are advanced machines leading a revolution in technological advancement. However, these proposed increases may not provide the ultimate salvation that some believe computers will bring. There are various issues that must be considered before we pledge our alliance to the motherboard. Thomas Dwyer wrote an article in SIGCUE discussing some of the issues his organization encountered in their study of this subject. He writes, “Our enthusiasm (for computers) is tempered, however, by a growing respect for the importance of human relationships, particularly in a technology-based environment. The more advanced the accomplishment of students, the more keen seems to be the need for the recognition and guidance...

...The Impact of Technology on the Education Industry by I. Wiggan September 27, 2011. Technology is the development over time of systematic techniques for making and doing things (Britannica Encyclopedia, 2001). According to the oxford dictionary; education is the process of training a person’s mind so that they can acquire knowledge. The combination of education and technology has been considered the main key to human progress. Education feeds technology, which in turn forms the basis for education (Fodje, 2006). The acquiring of knowledge allowed man to develop technological aid to make life easier. To date this same technology has impacted on the education industry in Jamaica. Technology has made a mark on Jamaica over the years; it is the fuel that drives Jamaica’s education industry at every level. Jamaica’s education model has four levels through which an individual can access or receive a formal education: Early Childhood Education; Primary Education; Secondary Education and Tertiary Education. At each stage of learning, technology has made a mark on students’ educational pursuits. At the Elementary stage of education, children between the ages of 2 – 6 years old are taught using audio visual aids. These are referred to as educational software; examples leapfrog and ‘my baby can read.’ These technological tools allow children to respond to audio and visual educational material. These mechanisms are tailored to gain the attention of children so that they learn prescribed...

...Education is the most important factor behind the progress man has achieved in this world. It has been the permanent character of human history and evolution of thought. However, in the past, it used to be prerogative of only a few privileged men and the pace of development was quite slow. Since it has been disseminated to common people, there has been rapid growth in every sphere of development: science, technology, sociology, politics, anthropology, etc. Now it is treated as basic human right of every man. Though, it encompasses a wide sphere of knowledge, it has been metamorphosed by man according to his needs. It has been mainly applied as a tool of economic development, which has limited its application. Consequently, people are deprived of the potential education offers for the overall development of personality and stability of society. The chaos in modern world is also partly due to this fault. Therefore, in order to meet the multi-dimensional challenges, man faces in the world, it is essential to impart real education i.e. liberal education. The liberal education has been defined in many ways, though emphasizing the similar essential elements. The best definition is offered by the “Association of American Colleges and Universities”. “Liberal education means to empower an individual and prepare him to deal with diversity, complexity and change”. As manifest from the definition, the purpose of education is to enable man to surpass the challenges faced in the...

According to Crede & Mansell (1998), ICTs are crucially important for sustainable development in developing countries. Thioune (2003) notes that for the past two decades most developed countries have witnessed significant changes that can be traced to ICTs. These multi-dimensional changes have been observed in almost all aspects of life: economics, education, communication, and travel. In a technologydriven society, getting information quickly is important for both sender and receiver. ICTs have made it possible to quickly find and distribute information. Thoiune (2003) indicates that many initiatives have taken at the international level to support Africa's efforts to develop a communication infrastructure and. These efforts are designed to enable African countries, including Nigeria, to find faster ways to achieve durable and sustainable development.

...What is eLearning? The teaching and learning methodology is a four-step progressive / recursive design adapted from experiential education theory. Using this methodology, material covered during this training will be systematically presented (Step A), practiced (Step B), assessed (Step C) and reviewed (Step D). Starting at the top of the circle to the right, Step A represents the introduction to new materials such as theory and skills. Progressing to Step B, participants will practice the application of the newly presented materials. Once applied, participants will assess their work in Step C, which will lead to a reflection or review of lessons learned in Step D that will inform and influence the next progressive iteration the learning cycle, beginning with Step A. A full progression of this methodology will be attempted each day of the training event. For example, the first day of this training will focus on the fundamentals of eLearning, where materials will be presented during the initial part of the day (Step A) and learning activities centered on the application of these materials will be conducted during the latter part (Step B). Concluding the day, participants will be asked to assess their understanding of the fundamentals of eLearning (Step C) and to identify questions and unresolved related issues for the next day’s session (Step D). The second day will build on the materials introduced and practiced during the first and will be guided by the participants’ assessment...

...the Subject Computer Ethics Perspectives Presented By: Patrick Troy R. Luberio Meghan Magcuro Jeffrey b. Santos Xavier Ray C. Yunzal Nichael Bonn S. Corpus August 2014 Time: 4:00-9:00PM Introduction In the industrialized world computers are changing everything: from education to health, from voting to making friends or making war. Developing countries can also fully participate in cyberspace and make use of opportunities offered by global networks. We are living a technological and informational revolution. It is therefore important for policy makers, leaders, teachers, computer professionals and all social thinkers to get involved in the social and ethical impacts of this communication technology. The origins of computer ethics can be traced to the 1940s to the time at which cybernetics and digital computers were first developed. These developments prompted Wiener (1948) to recognize both the good and evil inherent in these artificial machines. Since then, attempts have progressively been made to explore computer ethics from a variety of perspectives including that of computer ethics as not a real discipline, as a pedagogical methodology, as a unique discipline, as applied ethics, and as employing information ethics as the foundation of computer ethics the increasing integration of information and communication technology (ICT) into society. As technology advances, computers continue to have a greater impact on society. Therefore, computer ethics promotes...
